Lost mail international

[PrincyE 87]

Hello I mailed the required documents to my fiance for his interview with the embassy and they were sent via USPS. I did priority shipping and it reached Ghana within 5 days but they updated a status today that says  -Missed delivery - Scheduled for another delivery attempt today,
GHANA.- Has anyone who's mailed things international or to Ghana seen this before and knows what it means ? The package is auppose to go to a PO box in the town he lives in.

Resend everything through DHL. You won't get that mail. I sent financial information to my then fiance in 2015 and has still not received it.

Never send important documents through USPS. USPS has no authority there so they hand over the mails to the local post and they do whatever they want with it.

 

My fiance went to the central post office where it showed that the mail was but could find it even at the point of willing to bribe someone it wasnt found. The sad truth is that, some of the employees open the mails and to look for money then trash your mail. that's the unfortunate situation there.

Some times that doesn't even help. because it will show that your mail has been opened and they will be in trouble so they throw it away.

Please i would like your advise. My fiancee sent my documents on 6th of Oct. via USPS (PRIORITY MAIL EXPRESS) . They told her it will get to me 3- 5days. I tracked the documents on October 10, 2017, it says the  item departed a transfer airport in JOHN F KENNEDY INTL, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES.  The item is currently in transit to the destination.  Please do you have an idea if the document will get to me before my interview. I'm  worried because my interview is very close.

It takes 7 to ten days mostly because it goes through customs in new yoork. I sent my husband a document last week same way and it’s in Accra  today. Us mail is worst way to send important documents , if it’s got to be on time fed ex  it

Ghana too???  In the Philippines the person delivering mail and packages, even if you pick them up at the postal office as for a "delivery fee" or they won't give the mail. The fee is based on what the person believes the mail is worth to the recipient.

The problem with the USPS is that they stop any responsibility for the package once it leaves the states.  I paid the insurance and when the package was lost in the Philippines they said that I can't claim anything since it was out of their control.  Use a courier service for important papers.
